Master script for NetStumbler 0.4 - Page 2

godrick · 11-18-2004

The device is a Fortuna Clip-On (Bluetooth). Various PDA tools confirm that there is a fix and it gives 0 co-ordinates until it has a fix. Yes, the signal isn't strong, but it shows the correct place on Tomtom and Pocket Streets / Mappoint maps. Which script do I need to look in?

goldfndr · 11-21-2004

In "ns04settings.vbs", increase TellNoGPS - maybe to 20.

It appears to be doing double duty for both how often it tells you about a lack of GPS state and how it determines a lack of GPS state - I'll need to rethink that.

In other news, threading is nearly complete - just needs autostart/autostop and more testing.

New update, with speech in a separate thread. Hopefully it's Just In Time for travel (Thanksgiving and Black Friday in USA).

Currently it's enabled for debugging.

One outstanding issue is that it leaves the speech thread highly visible and only stops it if you explicitly disable Scanning. I thought that OnEnableScan and OnDisableScan would be called on startup/shutdown, but that doesn't appear to be the case; sorry!

Also, since it spawns SNDREC32 to play WAVs, I have it backing up and restoring the current Open and Close event WAVs in case you have sounds when you start/stop applications. I've no idea if this is WinXP-specific. One can save a sound scheme before testing.

Please send bug reports. I'm especially interested in whether anyone has gotten it working with DiGLE or one of Musatcha's utilities (GPSd, WiFiMapping) - I haven't yet been successful with DiGLE on my own.

Ok I would really love to use this script, but im having a heck of a time getting it to work...

I dropped it into my NetStumbler folder and created the Cicons and placed the icons inside of Cicons... I am using the following config...

Code:

'This file is designed to be GlobalExecute'd into the master script
'It contains all settings


'************ Master User Configurable Switches ************
'***********************************************************
'Mapping software; pick one?
UseMappoint = True	'***** Mappoint:  This overrides DropCrumbs and TrackVehicle
UseDiGLE = False	'***** DiGLE:  Free mapping utility; see WiGLE.net; also Musatcha's software


'***** Speech:  Speak names of networks in view
UseSpeech = False


'***** Sounds:  ' Non-speech audio - if using speech this may trigger if no new ssids to say
UseAudio = True


'***** SignalStrength:  MIDI obsoletes this; True if you want varying signal strength sounds
		'if using speech it might trigger if there are no new ssids to say, and UseAudio = True
UseSignalStr = True


'***********************************************************
'****************End of master switches*********************
'***********************************************************


RunDefs


'***********************************************************
'***********************************************************
if UseMappoint then
'***********************************************************
'***** Beginning of Mappoint-specific settings
'***********************************************************

		'Do you want to use a default map?
const UseDefaultMap = True

		'self explanatory - only used if UseDefaultMap is True
const DefaultMapLocation = "C:\stumbling\Map.ptm"

		'True to delete the last vehicle location and/or last track - only if using default map
const delLastLoc = True
const delLasttrack = True

When I launch NetStumbler I get the NetStumbler splash screen, MapPoint opens with the map specified in the settings. Then MapPoint starts using 100% of my CPU and NetStumbler hangs... If I kill MapPoint, NetStumbler stays frozen and i have to kill it also...

The script works fine if I disable map-point (sounds etc) but I would really like to have the live position tracking/ap's on the map working correctly

I downloaded the 20041124.zip
I made a folder under C:\Program Files\Network Stumbler\masterscript
I put the scripts in there. Then pointed NetStumbler to ns04master.vbs
I Edited the ns04settings.vbs to use MapPoint insted of DiGLE

When I fire up the script, Mappoint opens up as it should, the script says it's using Microsoft Sam (Voice), a dos window opens up with the following error.

C:\Program Files\Network Stumbler\masterscript\ns04thread.vbs(48, 24) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Path not found

Any advice?

What version of windows? Is the script engine installed?

Yeah sure is. I'm running WindowsXP SP2.
Never had this error with other scripts.
The odd thng is that the script that it says it can't find is exactly where t is looking.

Well with other scripts thus far I have been able to run them no problem from other directories other than the base NS directory for organizatonal purpoeses. This one seems to be the exception. After puttng them in the base NS directory it all seems to work fine

Dumb question, but how do I do this?
Sorry, don't know much about scripts. But trying to learn.

Uh, do what?

schroederzone · 02-02-2005

OK I'm trying to use the master script. But it's not working for me. I did some searching and I'm not sure what to do with this script. Do I need to edit this script? If so where. (be gentle I'm new to scripts) I've done some searching but haven't been getting any clear cut answers.

Ive been trying to run it but get this error:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

C:\Program Files\Network Stumbler\ns04thread.vbs(48, 24) Microsoft VBScript runt

What have I done wrong?
Thanks

streaker69 · 02-02-2005

Do you have Map Point installed?

Swipular · 02-03-2005

I just ran into this same problem.

The script is looking for the WAV directory which does not exist.

If you create a directory named WAV in your net stumbler directory the error should go away.

schroederzone · 02-06-2005

Yep that seemd to do it. Thanks for the help.

ChumleyEX · 02-13-2005

I'm having the same problem I have tried putting this into a couple of the scripts ( I don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying. ) I have looked around and this is the only thing I'm stuck on. I try to add it to the settings script and the mappoint and I get several diffrent errors.

What you can do to check this is to edit ns04mappoint.vbs, and just above this line:
cSymbol1 = .Symbols.Add(nameDir & cSymbol1)
add this line:
MsgBox "I'm looking for a file named:" & vbCRLF & nameDir & cSymbol1
and that will show where it's looking.

If that still doesn't show the error then please declare your cSymbol1 setting.

Upon further analysis, it looks like the useCustIcon setting isn't being honoured - the custom icons are always added to MapPoint even if you don't want them. This code might work:
if useCustIcon then
if not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol1) or not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol2) or not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol3) or not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol4) then
useCustIcon = "Unable to find the following custom icons, disabling feature:"
if not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol1) then useCustIcon = useCustIcon & vbCRLF & nameDir & cSymbol1
if not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol2) then useCustIcon = useCustIcon & vbCRLF & nameDir & cSymbol2
if not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol3) then useCustIcon = useCustIcon & vbCRLF & nameDir & cSymbol3
if not FSO.FileExists(nameDir & cSymbol4) then useCustIcon = useCustIcon & vbCRLF & nameDir & cSymbol4
MsgBox useCustIcon, vbCritical, nameScript
useCustIcon = False
else
...
end if
end if
after making useCustIcon a non-const (gee, that whole section is non-const-able!)

Can I blame Laidback?
